Hadley POV

I waited all day to hear from Brian or Matt. All day. I even texted Zacky, Johnny, and Jimmy, but they hadn't seen the two either, but assured me that the three of them at least would be at the show. I sighed. I was glad that they were coming, but that was only half of my best friends. I wanted the other two as well. I was pulled out of my thoughts as A System of a Down's "BYOB" chorus blasted out into the air. I picked up my phone and saw it was Angelica.

"Sup, Ang?"

"We're all headed to practice for tomorrow. We need you there in five," she explained. I could just imagine her checking her nails as she talked to me.

"Alright. Usual spot?"

"Yep. See you there, chica."

I hung up and decided to get dressed. I always performed better when I was dressed for a show. I threw on a long sleeve, black Harley Davidson shirt with the logo huge on the front and the iconic eagle on the back. I pulled my hair back, grabbed some skinny jeans and boots and headed out after texting Nikki about practice since she had been out all day. Now our practice space was pretty classy. Like, it's pretty sweet. Just kidding. It's in Sherri's garage, but it's all we can do for now.

"What's the set list for tomorrow?" I asked, looking at the other girls who were already there.

"Well, we know we're opening with 'The Ballad of Mona Lisa' and ending with 'West Coast Smoker,' but the in between is a mystery," Reagan answered, leaning on the couch.

"What about 'Dance Dance'?" Sherri offered. I laughed. Sherri always suggested "Dance Dance" because she loved the bass line she came up with.

"Sure. And we'll do 'Feathers' and our cover of 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' and 'Bad Romance'." I said as Reagan lit up. She loved those covers because she got to show off. "Then we can do 'Sorrow' and close with 'West Coast Smoker'."

"Alright, everyone assume the position," Nikki called as we all grabbed our equipment.

"She paints her fingers with a close precision
He starts to notice empty bottles of gin

And takes a moment to assess the sin she's paid for..."

I watched as the band that opened for us finished what we thought was their last song before the lead singer, Cale, grabbed the mic.

"Alright, before we finish up ladies and gentlemen, we would like to properly introduce Sweet Cherry Pie!"

The crowd went wild as the guitar started and we all broke out into a huge smile. They were playing "Sweet Cherry Pie" by Warrant.

She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good, make a grown man cry
Sweet Cherry Pie, yeah

We all sang along backstage as I danced around with Jimmy.

Swingin' on the front porch
Swingin' on the lawn
Swingin' where we want 'cause there ain't nobody home
Swingin' to the left and swingin' to the right
If I think about baseball I'll swing all night, yeah

By the time the song finished, the audience was screaming. Our opening band packed up and we went onstage, running through our set list. It was a great crowd. I wiped the sweat from my face as I projected into the microphone. Reagan and Angelica rocked out together while Sherri joined in and Nikki was headbanging from her drum set. I looked down into the front row of the crowd and stopped for a nanosecond so I wouldn't miss my entrance. Brian was standing there. He gave me an apologetic smile and winked. I grinned back to say I forgave him before powering through "West Coast Smoker."

"Knock once for the Father,
Twice for the Son,
Three times for the Holy Ghoooost
I'm a nervous wreck,
I'm a n-n-nervous wreck!"

I let the girls finish the track and we all thanked Huntington for a great show before heading backstage we're the opening band and Avenged Sevenfold minus Matt were waiting for us. Various "great show"s and "sick!"s were heard coming from both groups of men. The girls and I accepted the praise and began just talking to whomever. Brian headed toward me, but Cale got there first.

"Hey D2," He grinned holding his hand out. "Name's Cale."

"Hey, Cale. Call me Hadley," I smiled back, shaking his hand.

"So I reckon your boyfriend's pretty proud of your performance," he said, taking a swig of beer.

"He might be if I had one," I laughed.

"Well, I wouldn't mind filling the position," he winked.

Brian POV

I headed over to Hadley after their performance to congratulate her, but the kid that opened up for them beat me there. He looked alright, until I saw him wink at Hadley. What did he think he was doing? I saw him trying to flirt with her some more, but she started backing away. Then he touched her waist. She hit his hand away but he just put it back. That was it. I stormed over to the two and was preparing to beat the kid to a pulp when I got and idea. I wasn't sure how it would go, but if I did it and it didn't work, I could just say I was getting the kid to leave her alone. If it did go well and was reciprocated, well, I'd be one happy man.

Hadley POV

"Come on, now, baby," Cale said, putting his hand on my waist.

"Get off me, Cale," I warned, slapping his hand away.

"That's okay, I like 'em fiesty," he grinned, putting his hand back on my waist. Next thing I know I see Brian storming over, but then he slowed down and looked at me for one second before putting his hand on my back and pulling me into a kiss. But this wasn't just any kiss. As confused as I was, I knew a "reach for the stars, over the fence, world series kind of stuff" kiss when I felt it. I'll admit, I completely melted into Brian's lips and stayed there until he pulled away. I stood back and stared at him feeling a little dizzy.

"Get lost kid," Brian growled to Cale, who, once Brian flexed, headed for the hills.

Matt POV

I wasn't going to go to the Sweet Cherry Pie concert, but even though I was still mad, I wanted to see Hadley. I got there just as the concert ended, so I headed backstage. That's when I saw it. Brian grabbed Hadley and kissed her. And she was into it. I even saw her knees buckle. What the fuck, Brian?! I screamed in my head as the two pulled apart. I looked to Hadley for a reaction, but she was just staring at him. Fine, if that was how Brian wanted to play, then it was on. I wasn't letting Hadley go again. I loved her so much it actually felt like it hurt. I'd have to talk to Brian about this later. Let the games begin.

Notes

Yikes. Matt is not happy. But I bet Brian is ;) haha. What will Matt say to Brian? What will they decide? Is Hadley falling for Brian now? As always, stay tuned, and thank you beautiful people for the feedback. I love it! Keep it coming :) :D
